Janeen Guiliano-Miranda
A Beacon of Light
Janeen Guiliano-Miranda, affectionately known to her friends and family as “Neenie”, was a beacon of light to those who had the privilege of knowing her. Born on August 14, 1975, in Everett, MA, Janeen was a woman of grace, strength, and ceaseless compassion. She embraced life with open arms and a radiant smile, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered. As a beloved teacher for 25 years, she profoundly impacted the lives of countless students, leaving a lasting legacy in the field of education. Janeen’s life was a testament to the famous quote by Henry Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence stops.” She poured her heart into shaping young minds, a role she carried out with unwavering dedication. Janeen’s love for learning was evident in her personal life as well; she was a proud holder of a Master’s Degree, a remarkable achievement that embodied her commitment to intellectual growth. Her passion for teaching was only rivaled by her love for her family and friends, as well as her fondness for the Cape, a place she often escaped to with her loved ones. Janeen’s vibrant spirit and nurturing heart touched everyone she met. She is survived by her loving parents, Joseph and Christine Guiliano, her devoted husband, Joseph Miranda, and their three wonderful children, Jojo, Ellie, and Gianna, who were the center of her universe. Janeen also leaves behind her loving brother Richard Guiliano and his wife Karen, her dear sister Donna Wortman and her husband Scott D, and her cherished nieces and nephews Anna, Scotty, Kevin and Lauren. Janeen’s infectious laughter, her unwavering courage, her immense strength, and her relentless optimism will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
